Bored out of my mind, I started reading one of my favorite books again. "Alphabet Avenue" by Dave Morice dives head first into the art of wordplay. A 'pangram' is a sentence or quote using all 26 letters of the alphabet. Here is an excerpt of the book:

"Peter Newby composed a twenty-six letter takeoff of 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.': QWYK GLAZ'D VOX JUMPS FERN BITCH." Glaz'd is a synonym for 'brown', Vox means 'fox', and 'fern' is defined in its former adjectival sense as 'ancient.' All are in the Oxford English Dictionary. Translation: 'Quick brown fox jumps ancient female dog.'"

I decided to take a stab at a 26-letter pangram parody of the classic "Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz."

My attempt:

"CWM QUARTZ 'K' GLYPHS JINX DOVE BF." where as "cwm" is a deep, steep-walled basin on a mountain, and "glyph" means an ornamental groove. So, the translation of this is "Etchings of the letter 'k' on a quartz mountain brings bad luck to a dove boyfriend."

I'm bored. It's Easter, I'm stuck at home. Perhaps my next pangram parody will be of that other classic "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs." But not anytime soon. My brain got burned out. It took at least an hour and a half to do what I did earlier. But you know what? That's OK because I have nothing better to do. So it's not really a waste of time.
